When picking up the car at Dublin AIRPORT we had to wait quite a long time (but that was still ok). Then my credit card was not able to reserve the 1100 EURO excess we were supposed to reserve. We offered to pay the deposit in cash, but they wouldn't have it. So eventually we were forced to pay for 16 days of CDW. That doenw e went to pick up the car. There again we had to wait for a long time (it definitely was 20minutes). A guy just pointed to the car and said we could go... I was toally surprised cause last time I booked a car with another company (can't remember) they went around the car with me checking meticulously for scratches and so on.

While travelling and eventually having to put fuel in the car we started getting suspicious. Fuel price was below 1.60Euro per liter (June 20139 and the tank (we checked later on the internet to confirm our suspicions) was only 45l (car was Renault Clio). However we had to pay 109EURO for a full tank!!! What a rip-off! Nearly 40 Euro for WHAT??? Does anyone know how they come up with this price?

Also we ended up having huge issues in Dublin because due to a series of unfortunate events our car was parked in a parking that opened half an hour before our flight was to leave (blame to hotel for sending us there cause there car park was full). The hotel staff had offered to take the car to SIXT for free cause we had taken a cab to get our flight, but then SIXT was being really unhelpful and told them that the insurance doesn't cover anything. So we're gonna have to pay even more money since SIXT staff eventually picked up the car for us.

(We understand that we have to pay if they pick up the car, but they could have been more undestanding of the situation).

Last week we arrived in Dublin airport. I reserved a 9 seater van weeks before and called the day before pick up to make sure all was well, it was.

All the other car hire desks were not busy. SIXT had a long line, we stood for near 2 hours as I got closer to the desk. It was oblivious that the reason for the delay was, the staff had to explain to everybody the extras that were added on. I choose SIXT because they were the cheapest on line. The difference between the online quote and the at the desk quote was about 250 euro. The service was brutal, so bad infact I had to vent. I left SIXT frustrated with no vehicle. I went to another car rental desk in the terminal, got 2 cars, for half the cost and it took maybe 10 minutes. SIXT get the business from the prices they offer on line to folks coming from away. Then they all line up, get abused, get charged more for their trouble. Avoid these cowboys.

I wish someone would call me back!! I have left numerous voice messages to an unanswered telephone in Dublin Airport!!! I am calling from England and it is regarding charges made to my credit card long after my hire!! This is for exaggerated charges for using the M50 toll in Ireland which I in fact paid for in the fuel garage every time I used.... How unprofessional that I cannot speak to a human being on the overside of the phone lines...... Please pick up your voice messages and have the decency to return the calls.... Thank You...

the charges are not exaggerated. all companies charge an admin fee of somewhere around 40€ for providing details to the authorities. you can now expect a notification of a fine which increases rapidly if you ignore it. this will then be followed up by a collection agent at your door. collection of fines has nothing to do with sixt!

i rang their listed number and got straight through without any problem. so the number is working ok.
